I went to see Roman Polanski’s 2005 release of “Oliver Twist” a couple of days ago. I was not disappointed, but I wasn’t very impressed, either. One of the good points is that the story is not in any way “Hollywoodized,” it is told in a straight, true-to-the-source way. …

Who’s in It: Efren Ramirez, Dwight Yoakam, Amy Smart, and Jason Statham.
In the movie crank, a professional hit man is injected by this stuff that they call ?The Chinese S?t?. But the thing is that he has to keep his adrenaline up or he dies. Through out the movie …

Where It’s At is another movie from the sixties about the generation gap, in an odd sort of way. In truth, I don’t like this movie. It’s just a little too off-beat for me. I didn’t like the characters, I don’t like their evolution, and there’s not …

What happens when the gods lose their power to something more powerful and ancient than themselves, something primal - the complete darkness? “Thor :The Dark World” is a film in which I think that the team of Marvel reaches a whole new level in their skills… Expertly served storyline …

The story adheres strictly to the clichés of the genre , and this potentially poses a risk for the viewer to be bored. The story revolves around two undercover agents, who under the circumstances must join forces to survive and succeed . It sounds familiar, and I do not …

Batman was Tim Burton’s breakthrough to a major audience, and captures the darkness and gothic aspects of the comic series in a remarkable visual way. Michael Keaton is solid as the hero but the great acting performance is done by Jack Nicholson as the villain The Joker. The role …

Well, when I rented the film Dark Harvest, I thought it would turn out to be something scary. Instead, it turned out to be yet another terrible horror film that lacked both scares and believable plot.
You have a guy who is adopted and seeks to learn more about his …

I’m still wondering if this is a remake of the classic “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner”, for it does not have the flair of the original (that’s of course, if it is a remake). Ashton Kutcher (Simon Green) co-stars with Bernie Mac (Percy Jones) in this family comedy that …

This movie is about a drug lord who is so in control of his area and surround areas that they refer to him as ‘god’. Without any hard information on him, the authorities cannot touch him and that makes him what they call ‘untouchable’. But they are not going …

I really didn’t know what to think when I first heard of this short film, which was written by ‘Belly’ writer Hype Williams and directed by Kanye West. If I had not been able to read a brief description of the movie at the time that I heard about …

I loved this movie tremendously. As a survivor of the dating scene, I think we have all encountered at least one guy like this. It seems like he is the perfect guy that you have long been searching for. He has all the great qualities and looks irresistable. Then …

Bride Of The Monster was the third feature film written and directed by the infamous Edward D. Wood Jr. It was his first official Sci-Fi film (Glen or Glenda was a docudrama and Jail Bait was a crime film). Other than his well known Plan 9 From Outer Space, …

I thought that Valkyrie was a decent, very-well executed movie made better for me by the fact that it was based on true, historical events.
I think that the story is a very powerful one to tell, as not much is remembered of the Germans who hated Hitler as much …

As an avid movie watcher and Oz obsessive, I was thrilled to finally receive (via Lovefilm) the 2013 movie, Oz the Great and Powerful. The film features a decent cast so I have written a quick list of the main characters and their actors here with a couple of …

Walden Media hasn’t really changed movies with some of their movie adaptations of their famous novels. There seems to be more buzz around the actual title than the movie itself, which doesn’t sit well for movie goes. Is Nim’s Island going to suffer the same way just all the …

Acclaimed crew of movie authorities, glorified by hugely successful “The Pirates of the Caribbean”, brought forth a new fiction. This one is based on one of the most popular computer games ever. The Persian Prince, The Sands of Time, is composed by the author of the game himself, Jordan …

Oh boy, is this the most incoherent movie ever made or what?
Warning: You may want to take an aspirin before reading this review.
In 1970, Independent International Films had a hit with Satan’s Sadist, a biker gang movie, and the following year a sequel (Satan’s Blood Freaks) was put into …

“Charlie Wilson’s War” opened in my local theatre this weekend. I went to a matinee and enjoyed it very much. The movie tells the story of Texas Congressman Charlie Wilson and his efforts to finance covert operations in Afghanistan to help defeat the Soviets who had invaded. The movie …

I have long heard of the movie “American History X” being referred to from time to time from the late nineteen nineties. However, I never brought myself to watch it being that I had somehow thought that it would be another movie about America’s racist history and I did …

The swedish filmmaker Roy Andersson debuted with the incredibly successful A Love Story back in the late 1960s. His next film Giliap was very criticised and that made Roy heartbroken, so he stopped making feature films for almost 30 years. Then came World of Glory and Something has happened …

I’ve been looking forward to seeing the movie Thor: The Dark World ever since I figured out that there was going to be another one even before it had begun to film. I was also looking forward to it when I understood that Loki was going to be one …

I recently went and saw the movie P.S I Love You. It turned out a lot better than I’d thought. I was at first hesitant to see it becaue it did not have good reviews with the critics. However, I turned out to be pleasantly surprised. It was definitely …

Have you ever meet two sisters or brothers who seem to be completely different from each other, that you ask yourself how could they be related? It did actually happened to me, and I am sure that if you search your memory you will remember of a similar situation. …

My wife and I recently watched The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (I will refer to the movie as “Caspian”). I enjoyed the movie, but it was not as entertaining or complex as The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe.
In Caspian, the four future kings and queens …

Pilgrimage is one of the five pillars of Islam (faith, prayer, alms giving, and fasting). In …

I think the IMAX theatres are one of the best things the movie business has going for it. As we see declining sales these are going to be the things that bring people back into the theatre. I have been saying it for years–if you want people back you …

Ok so I took my wife to see the much anticipated “Dark Knight” hoping that we would both enjoy it as much as the first one. We didn’t, but that’s not to say this isn’t a good movie. In fact, this is a great movie, but it …

The Last Legion is a must watch DVD movie starring the ever sweet and sexy Bollywood actress, Aishwarya Rai and also the handsome Colin Firth. What is the story about, you might wonder, and how on earth a Bollywood actress had been featured in this movie…?
Well, that’s not important. …

I’ve been making my way through the “Friday the 13th” film series. It is one of the iconic horror/slasher franchises out there and I hadn’t seen it yet. Since I’ve been on a bit of a horror kick lately, I figured that now was as good a …

I don’t think I’d be wrong to say that the best thing about this movie is the dog. She is beautiful, original, and has reached heights of acting that even Jack Nicholson could not contact. And if it suddenly occurs to you for a moment that the grumpy writer melted …

To put into perspective, the duality of this Netflix Original greatly symbolizes the duality of the genre bending that it is standing for. “Narcos” is both a crime drama as much as a pseusdo-drama-based documentary. That might be a mouthful but it also makes sense why this show …

I am not exactly a big fan of sequels, so when I heard that they intended to make Hangover 2, I was more than a little skeptical. I absolutely adored The Hangover and it is among my friends’ favourites when it comes to comedy as well. It made me …

I’ll start out by saying Ice Age 2 is a good family movie and is certainly enjoyable.
However, after watching it this weekend, I felt very unsatisfied.
The first Ice Age was a unique and funny movie. The second one was poorly scripted and didn’t seem to have as much …

Problem Child, taken from the pages of a comic book and tv series and tossed unto the silver screen with hopes of getting a hugh payday. This movie was a disaster from the very first time time it was even considered as being put into production for a feature …

What to say about this movie? I liked the concept. It was like watching “The Bad Seed” or “The Good Son” all together. But this movie started off with a really gruesome childbirthing nightmare. Once we realize that Vera Farmiga’s character is just dreaming, the …

The movie “Bobby” is obviously one of the most star-studded movies of all time, but it isn’t that the stars are famous, it’s that they are good actors. From long-time favorites like Anthony Hopkins and Lawrence Fishburn to knew favorites like Lindsay Lohan, Shia Labeof, and …

“Material Girls” is the movie where we see Hilary Duff together with her sister, Haylie for the first time on big screen. I must admit that they make a cute duo as they try to put their heads together while their lives fall apart!
The story of “Material Girls” is …

This movie, umm, let me rephrase that, this comedy is a spoof of some of the movies that were released the months before this movie was released. It dares to poke fun at almost every movie no matter the content, if it’s a serious movie or not, nothing movie …
